I have a pair in Brighton. Look all straight to me. But somebody else may be closer?
EDIT mine came from a non sprint, just learnt about the difference from Aluns post. Every day is a schoolday

Be aware, most of us have only recently found out the Sprint gutter trim is about 1 mm deeper than the other models to accommodate the vinyl roof lapping over the outer gutter upstand. If your vinyl hasn't been taken over the top then trims from other variants should fit...

Though i'd check this out, since NONE of us knew this till recently and it seemed vaguely possible to me that, since only used ones had been measured, original ones were all the same size and Sprint ones were just stretched to fit.

But no, it's the real deal, Sprint ones ARE different with different part numbers in the parts list for anyone to have seen, had they looked! Sprints are XKC1530/31 and all other models are 817710/11

Every day is indeed a school day, even for us so-called "experts" It's what makes the job fun!

BTW, you CAN make the normal car ones fit over a vinyl roof, but it doesn't half hurt your hands! My own Sprint had it's gutter mouldings badly damaged by a previous owners roof rack, so I had a choice between a set from a 1500HL and a set from an 1850 which was all I had in stock. I picked the best pair from 4 and MADE them fit, but it was a rather protracted and painful experience! But of course, back then (a whole 3 years ago!) I didn't know any different!
